In the d?*y panorama of events,

the radio, and on the screen, conmining
alas! far too much of the

that matter, we are apt to ?o-?
night of the real work of the world,
being patiently carried on by that
host of the unac claimed, both men
and women, without whose constant
and unceasing attention to their dutie>
and responsibilities, the welfare
of all would begin to shrink immediately.

on the other hand the death sentence
IM about the only penalty that the notorious

The light in court is primarily to
o.vajM- the death penalty. If convicted
the plea before governors and
pardon boards is to have the sentence
commuted to a life imprisonment.
Why? Because in the first place it
is not severe punishment for such
fellows; furthermore, they know that
in nine cases out of ten they will by
some hook or crook secure their freedom
before a great while.
No man with any of the fine qualities
of the human spirit can look

about Camden, in Kershaw county.
The same company, Champagne Palter
corporation, is growing considerable
areas in the Eastern Shore
region of Virginia and in Oregon.
Wade II. Ramsey, Wedgefield man,
educated at Clemson college, who

t with a mechanical engineer sent down
from New York the responsibility
for operation of the small mill installed
at Estill to prepare Max grown

mills.
Mr. Ramsey is optimistic regarding
the future of fiber flax as a new
cash crop for the Southern farmer.
i The Camden area was chosen for
> supplementary plantings because the
i fertile, moisture-holding soils of the

ered to be well adapted to flax. Small
test plantings are being made in the
1 valley of the Great Pee Dee, where
.* similar soils exist. Besides native
farmers, some winter resident* of

A CHIKF EXECUTIVE
In Greenville, South Carol in*, b, a
gentleman now well past eighty, Jong
may he live, who *erve<l four year*
art governor, from 1007 to 1011. His
name is Martin T. Ansel. Ho was
an exceptionally good governor?one
of the beat that the state has had.
He Hat in his office with the constitution
and the statute^ ^efore him.
He knew what they meant, he enforced
them, saying little about it,
and was not beloved of the reporters.
He was the chief "executive," and
that is all that he tried to be. He
sought uo enlarged powers. - No one
remembers anything "sensational" in 1
Ansel's administration, he wrought
no miracies, he steered away from
the whole miracle business-?and
stuck to the constitution and the statutes
wjiich define and limit the duties
of the governor. Nor does one
remember any ".Scandals" in the
Ansel administration. Budgets were
balunced. Prisoners who had been
convicted usually got the punishment
that the juries and the judges prescribed
for them. The law was good
enough for .\lartin Ansel, and, as
Kipling wrote of "Bobs" (General
Roberts), "he didn't advertise." This
Pre* byte rian gentleman of German
parentage neglected to furnish the
people with amusement, with "something
to read about," but the people
and the state got along right well
when Martin Ansel was governor.
The constitution and the statutes
were his law and his gospel in the
governor office.?Charleston News
and Courier.
WELFARE DOES IT
? at her or mother used to provide
for the family, but the father of our
land today is welfare. Welfare provides
food, shelter, clothes, fuel, mattresses,
and blankets. Welfare takes
people to the hospital who never
thought of hospitals before.
The average man on welfare won't
spoil his furtheV chance of aid by accepting
odd jobs, and he knows that
collectors of past bills won't bother
hi m.
1 he man who is tiying to get along
and keep his family knows it is no
disgrace to eat Isdied potatoes, beans.
dt\ bread, and black coffee and to
put pans under the roof leaks and
wear patched clothes and sleep >>n
lumpy mattresses. lie is giving .;<
children something latter than buttered
welfare.
To save our good country from relief
taxation and welfare loads, we
need to pas* out more discipline and
backbone and less, lots less, of welfare.?Monroe
Enquirer.

Life In A Small Town
"It strikes me as extremely unfortunate,"
remarked the Madison,
(N. C.) Messenger, a few days ago,
"that so many people, most of them
men and women who have always
lived in small towns, have the feeling
that the man or woman who
ha? devoted his or her life to a small
town is necessarily a failure?a person
who couldn't make good elsewhere.
This attitude that succes in
life means "big things"? big cities,
big piles of money, big business, etc.,
strikes us as a rather pitiful ideal.
In fact, of late years it seems to be ,
striking many people in much the j
same way, particularly those who are
strapped in the saddle of metropolitan
life and would give anything to
be out of it.
"America for all its pounding, overwhelming
cities is essentially a
small-town nation. Perhaps at the
think of out'-elu's as a big city
eountiy, but with the increasing
thoughtfulness and saneness brought
,,n by recent want, many Americans
have come to a full appreciation of
the undesirability of being a .'big
fish.' *'
The foregoing should be read with
appreciative interest in southwest
Virginia where there are many attractive
small towns which offer unrivalled
opportunity for living in its
fullest and richest sense, "such," in
the words of the Madison Messenger,
"as valuable contacts with community
life, leisure to follow individual
pleasures and the gratifying feeling
of really knowing the people they
work and live with intimately."
The big city has its compensations,
but life in the small town, more especially
life in any number of small
towns such as Virginia and North
Carolina are dotted with, holds for
the average man or woman opportunities
for happiness and satisfaction
to life that the metropolis cann<'t
hope to equal.?Roanoke (Va.)

P'our federal revenue agents working
out of Columbia raided two whiskey
distilleries in Sumter county
